Your Sunday Squirrel

Squirrels are neither good nor evil. They just eat peanuts, climb trees and battle their sworn enemies, crows. They live their lives without the concept of morality. But looking at this slightly-out-of-focus shot of one of Denny Park's bolder squirrels, you'd think that this guy was up to something unpleasant:It's like I'm interrupting his plans for world domination and he's very annoyed. Actually, he was just waiting for me to throw him a peanut while my camera groaned and struggled to focus on his twitchy moves. So no, this squirrel is not plotting against you, me or the bourgeoisie, although he may be hatching a plan to wipe out Denny Park's crow population...

Seattle is quite a beautiful city, no doubt about that. The Belltown neighborhood doesn’t swing that way. Much of it is downright hideously ugly. If not for all that ugliness, there’d be nothing to see. I’ve lived here for 20 years and I’ve only just started taking notice. Please join me on this odyssey of unsightliness as we try to figure out why poor Belltown looks so bad.
